Little Monkey's Funnies

Last night little monkey had a temper tantrum because he didn't want to sit at the table and eat dinner like everyone else. So I calmly told him that he could either stop the screaming and sit down in his seat quietly while we were eating or he could go sit in the corner in "time out" till he was done screaming.

He thought about this the best he could and calmed down just enough to look me straight in the eyes and say "I go sit in the corner". I watched as he got down from the table and calmly walked into the dining room where his "Time Out " Corner is and sat down.

We tried really hard not to laugh. Really we did. We could here him fake crying in the other room and yelling "I no eat ANYMORE!!"  After a few minutes he came back in and quietly climbed up in his seat and sat there till we were all done eating. But he refused to eat dinner. Don't worry all, I did give him some Pediasure to make up for the lack of dinner.

Sewing Project #2 and updates

I finished my second sewing project! It took forever and a day to make only because I had such a small window of time to work on it during the week.  I couldn't sew while my boys were awake because they would take off with my measuring tape, my chalk, box of snaps, etc. You get the picture.

So that is where I have been the last week.  Project number one will be shown off on July 4th. I'm not done with it. I got frustrated with it and decided to put it away for a few days.

Lots going on around here. We bought a new van that Little Monkey thinks is his. It has automatic doors and a moon roof  so he calls it "My Rocketship". And the minute I tell him we are going out he gets so excited he puts on his shoes and never mind the fact that he doesn't have shorts or a shirt on!  He gets so tickled by watching the doors close automatically. Tiger is mesmerized. I think he's still trying to figure out if he likes that feature.

A job change may be in the works for Steven. We thought is was a open and shut thing but his current employer threw us a slight curve ball and wants him to stay. So we are in prayer on what to do. Does he stay? Or does he go to the new job. It's a tough decision. Keep us in your prayers that we make the right decision.

Through the Lens 101

I have this camera, see, but i haven't a clue how to use it to take awesome pictures. I have looked every where online for tips on understanding my camera in English . I haven't found one that I understand. But have no fear!!! Hallie at Confessions from the Rubber Room has saved me from my digital woes!

 

This week's assignment was to read the manual for my camera. Well that's a little tough to do since I can't find it. But I did go online and find the manual on the manufacturers web site. I read it. But I did not understand any of it. I hope I'm not the only one. The other assignment was to take pictures and post the best one after learning a few things from the manual.

I did the best I could considering I didn't understand any of it. So here it is!
